Amp for Harbeth 7ES3

Looking for an amp for my Harbeth 7es3's in the $2000-$3000 range new or used. My room is 12'x15'. I am using a Sony xa5400 cd player. My preamp is a DeHavilland Ultraverve 2. Very difficult to audition amps since I live in Maine and there are no Hi-end dealers even close. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!!!

Hi Johnc5, I looked up the DeHavilland stereo 845 in the GON bluebook and the used price is in your price range.
Good Luck, Tish

These speakers are not fuzzy, so anything sounds great with them.
LFD Zero LE, Luxman, Accuphase int amps sounds great with these speakers.'

After much consideration and research I am thinking about going with an integrated. My current top choices to compliment my Harbeth's are the Audio Research VSI60 and the Luxman L505u. Any other suggestions or thoughts on these integrateds would be greatly appreciated. I have around $4000 to spend new or used. Thanks

If sound quality is your sole priority, go with tubes. The AR VSI 60 or 55, Cary SLI 80 and VAC Avatar (difficult to find) are all reputable.

I use cary slp-05 and Music Reference RM200 to drive 7es3 and got great result. You cannot get wrong with mc275 and AR VSI60. But RM200 will have better dynamics IMHO.
